Hello

 

We are trying to implement a CHAT capability from our home grown help
desk application.  We have a simplifeid submit web form where the user
keys in his id number and hits enter and we populate most of the rest of
the form from LDAP.  The customer then selects a product and a
description of the problem.  If the customer selects a partcular product
and is a member of a particular organizationl, we popup a dialog telling
his that we have CHAT help for this product and asks him if he wants to
use it.  If he selects No, the ticket gets entered and the customer is
through with the form.  If he selects yes, we close that dialog and open
another dialog, passing the name of the customer and his email address.
The form that comes up contains a view field.  It accepts the
information passed to it and formulates a URL that we set the View Field
to.  Nothing out of the ordinary at this point.

 

In Firefox 1.5+, when the dialog opens, the URL opens in the space
desgnated for the View Field starting at the upper left hand corner.
This work greats.  It is just what my customers want to see.

 

However, in Internet Explorer, the URL moves itself to the lower right
hand corner of the View Field almost entirely off the field.  No scroll
bars or anything to adjust to it.  I can extend the View Field to
accommodate the url but it really look stupid with it being off the
screen and the customer having to scroll down and to the right to see
the url.

 

Have any of you used View Fields before and have experience a similar
problem?  We are trying to go live with this at the middle of the month
but I cannot get passed this positioning issue.

 

Pertinent Information:

We are using ARS 7.0.1 patch 3 for arserver and MidTier

We are using a Sun V440 server running Solaris 9 and Oracle 10 for the
arserver and a V240 server with Solaris 9 and WebLogic 8.1.3 for
MidTier.  We have Sun Java 1.4.2 running on the Web Server

We have tried several versions of Firefox with several versions of Sun
Java on the workstations.  They all seem to work.

We have tried several versions of Internet Explorer from 6.1 to 7.0 with
Microsoft JVM and with several versions of Sun Java up to 1.6.1.  It all
works the same.  IE moves the URL off the vield field, down and to the
right.

 

Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

 

By the way, the url we are trying to displace is this:
https://tichd.webex.com/tichd/webacd.wbx?AT=pqform&QID=4552&UID=0&SK=5ce
49ae1097bc01582e2ea86c230e317&f_4912=Dan&f_4917=Wangler&f_4922=myemailad
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  The url accesses Webex's WebACD chat feature.

 

Thanks
